Charlotte, NC area: hate on OP, houses, boats & hoes

Mmmmm they are so sweet. Truck drive so much better now.

 

Probably from having to drag my ass up that one hill possibly. You didn't get bound up hard anywhere really though that's what throws mine off and it's usually because the rack skips the gear. Usually I don't have issues with camber and caster but I really wrench down on the cam bolts after an alignment so they are super tight not to correct spec

 

I have Jury Duty this week, anybody have luck getting out of it in Meck Co?

@Bannerman @Cozza and whoever else Bikes

 

Thanks for the heads up.

 

Good lookin' out!

 

Do any of you guys run with a chop exhaust muffler to clear the spare tire location and for clearance offroading? any issues passing inspection in NC?

 

I chopped mine after it turns down after axle, no issues with inspection

 

same

 

As long as the exhaust exits behind the passenger compartment and still has the muffler it'll pass. Mine is hacked just a couple inches after the muffler.

 

Ten minutes. Free. Just do it.

 

I just ran an easy, but tough, little trail today. Old House Gap Rd. Brown Mtn Beach Rd to Roseboro to Old House Gap.

I believe I walked most of it. Several off camber sections can make it tricky solo and my experience level. Missed my line once and was teetering on the pass front and dr rear. Too nervous to get out and take a pic

My suspension was maxed out finally and best workout it has had. Never scraped, didn’t need lockers, mts, or my crawl...

I love that area. So beautiful.
Edit: I mean it’s ugly and not worth the drive.

 

Doesn't look like you air'ed down at all, have enough traction then?

 

No i didn’t air down. Traction was fine. I did slip just a little coming down the one wall at the top in the video but that was it.
Suspension was loud and popping at full extension and when I was completely off camber which was a little nerve racking to me. I’ve only driven the non D’s at URE, so these off camber sections being by myself was tough for my skill level.
It was nice not having all the humps for a change..

 

Nice, I didn't air down the last time I (or anyone ) ran Richland Rd. Sounds like you had a fun day!

 

I need to check that out...looks like a fun little road.

 

There are tons of forest roads and service roads like that, that weave all over the natl forests between NC and TN then up into VA and WV.

I just got some tires mounted this morning and as I was leaving I heard a loud pop!, my UCA snapped. SPC is garbage and i'm glad i am not the only one that this issues has happen with this company. Thanks @ajohnson for having a spare to sell me.
